Obsidian: Progress Reports
« on: May 23, 2010, 07:06:08 pm »
V0.01
Got the framework (Console, Lua and basic Render engine) up and running.

V0.02
Setup the build system for creating dynamic-loading Lua modules, and implemented a module for the DevIL image manipulation library. You can now use Obsidian to load practically any image, and save it to practically any format. DevIL can do a lot of other stuff, but I'll add them to the module as required

Why isn't this handled in the main Obsidian thread, or the DF modding forum?  No disrespect, but do we need 3 threads on the front page of the DF discussion forum concerning your visualizer?

I wasn't exactly sure which board is the right one for external utilities (which is distinct from modding the game itself). In the absence of a specialized board, convention is to go with the general.

As to the multiple threads, I did that for separation of concerns - the reason why we have epic multi-hundred page threads is because everyone throws everything in one thread, which is a headache to read through for newcomers.

That said, I have no qualms with moving any of the Obsidian threads to a more suitable board, if such exists.

The main thread and the competition thread are good as separate thread, but I think progress reports on production would be best suited as part of the main thread just for the sake of saving forum real estate.

Progress reports will continue in main thread. This one is now locked.
